Most listings let you reserve now and pay later, and cancel free up to 24 hours before. Your ship's berth or time can change; a reservation costs nothing to hold.
Not at the pier: about 10 minutes by taxi
Measured from Osanbashi Pier, where most ships here dock.
Coming backAllow the same ~10 minutes back to the ship, and aim to be there an hour before all-aboard.
Fare from the official meter tariff in force since 2026-03-16, for the road distance; traffic, tolls and night surcharges are extra.
- It is short and close to the downtown piers, so it fits around a walk of the harbour or Chinatown on the same day.
- Museum admission is included, groups are capped at 8, and 49 reviews average 4.9.
- It was open on 29 of the 33 Yokohama ship days we checked.
Couples or families with a short Yokohama call who want one light, hands-on hour and a half.
You meet the guide at the museum's main entrance, not at the ship; the guide holds a gotcha sign, and the listing asks you not to go to the front desk. The listing says all soups contain pork, so it does not suit vegetarians or vegans.
